Did they pattern Marlo after 50? That's all I think about when I hear this slow niguh talk (I'm beginning Season 5)

Yo does anyone else find Slim Charles a tad annoying? Dude overstates everything :heh:

I feel like they always use him to summarize the plot too

I think the one thing people make a mistake on when watching the wire is thinking it revolves around the drug dealers. The police were the main characters.
I mean thats true in the sense that the police were around all 5 seasons.. a lot of the dealers had just as much depth to them though.

It's hilarious whenever Season 2 comes up. When people don't like it, they're immediately attacked as "they just don't understand it" or whatever insult they can come up with.

To be fair the actors themselves admitted they didn't understand it initially, either.
